When we experience the emotion of regret, we can either experience it in a way that builds character towards a godly ideal or in a worldly way that burdens us down and traps us in unhelpful rumination not bearing any positive fruits. We see the two contrasts between the Corinthian church in II Corinthians 7 and Judas in Matthew 27. The Corinthian church, after tolerating sin for too long, changed with the tool of regret towards Godly character with "zeal," "diligence," and clarity. Judas wallowed in his sorrow leading to even more sin. Regret is different from regular sorrow in the greater knowledge that we could have had a better consequence or outcome. It involves a greater portion of the brain, involving parts such as orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) involving visual memory, comparisons, and feedback mechanisms. If we have worldly sorrow, we stay lost in it, unable to move on, and we becomes full of self-pity making us no good to do godly actions. In a godly method, we can use sorrow to move forward and become better representatives of His will and use positive feedback to improve and show character growth year after year. One should call upon God after a regret and ask for the strength for the repentance with the accompanying proper action and attitude adjustment.
